It's only in the last couple of years that I've come to realize what a great actor Robinson was, how many wonderful performances he gave, and how versatile he really was. He's often thought of as an actor of the 30s, but for me he reached his peak in the 40s. It's incredible that he never received a single Oscar nomination. You named all the best films, although I would add "The Whole Town's Talking" (1935), which has direction by John Ford (without cloying sentiment or cornball humor), the great Jean Arthur, and best of all Robinson in a dual role, playing a Rico-like gangster and his doppelganger, a meek soul like those in the Fritz Lang movies of the 40s.R.
